Abstract

Allylic ethers undergo insertions of silylenes into C-O bonds to form allylic silanes. Silylene insertion into C-O acetal bonds was also observed. Formation of silylene ylide intermediates led to [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement products as well as [2,3]-sigmatropic products depending upon the steric environment of the starting allylic ether.
